One of the most common questions project teams ask is: how long will it take to install Mitrex solar cladding systems? The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all; installation timelines depend on several project-specific factors, including size, access, product type, and site sequencing.
But with proper planning, Mitrex’s cladding systems can help reduce complexity and keep projects moving efficiently.
While it might be tempting to look for a single number, installation timelines vary widely. Every project is unique, and so is the schedule. Based on Mitrex’s internal planning standards, installation can take anywhere from 1 to 9 months, depending on project size and specifications.
These durations factor in logistics like:
By using prefabricated panels and planning ahead, we help clients minimize downtime, streamline sequencing, and stay on budget.
Below is a breakdown of average daily installation rates per crew based on system type:
These figures represent average expected rates under normal conditions and do not include site prep, hoist setup, or weather-related delays. Proper sequencing is key; for example, ensuring panels are staged appropriately by elevation can prevent bottlenecks and keep the pace efficient.
Key Takeaways for Project Planning
Mitrex works closely with architects, developers, and project managers to simplify the installation process. From rigging coordination to sequencing logistics, our team can help you stay on schedule and avoid common pitfalls.
